Hi I got a nikon d7200 camera but I can't make the WiFi to work. It says this function is not available at current settings or in the camera ' s status. Please anyone can help me. Thanks in advance |

I dont have a D7200 but I think you need to use the Nikon WMU utility. I am not sure what you want to do with the Wifi connection. Is it to control the camera and shoot remotely using a mobile phone (iOS or Android) as a controller? Or do you want to download to your phone or PC? |

As I understand it you need to get the WMU App on your device...then Step 1: Turn on camera WiFi Step 2: Connect phone/tablet WiFi to camera just as you would any hotspot Step 3: Run the Nikon WMU app. You need to have a fully charged battery in the camera as well! I haven't done this for my Nikon yet, but my wife's Panasonic works in exactly the same way. The App Gives you option to transfer files from camera or operate camera remotely using device. She's used it successfully operating video remotely. |

Ok I've just had a play with the D750 wifi and iPad and WMU...and couldn't get it to connect. So after a bit of faffing about I reset my iPad network settings back to factory settings...which flushed out the gremlins. Before rejoining my home wifi, I tried the Nikon wifi and it connected first time and worked fine. I then rejoined my home wifi ...to report these findings!! I am now still able to connect to Nikon...so flushing worked. |

Salehsust, In the heat of trying to help you find a solution to your wi-fi issues wee seem to have forgotten to extend a warm welcome to the forum. So, welcome to the Forum and I hope we have been of some help. The 7200 isn't a camera which I have any experience but plenty here have so just hope you get it sorted. |

It seems you have to go back to the home screen and reselect the camera option again, to get it to reinitialise ie focus again. The interface is also very 1990s BBC computer graphics...very poor. The Panasonic app has its faults, but at least it has total functionality ( with its integral lens, even zooming) and it's much more 21century graphics. |

For direct camera control and tethered shooting Sofortbild takes some beating, Lightroom works OK but not as good as Sofortbild in my opinion which it seems does support wi-fi, for some cameras at least. http://www.sofortbildapp.com I have taken something like 3500 images with the D200 and Sofortbild copying text for OCR purposes and to create PDF's. Direct wired of course, couldn't be bothered with wi-fi, it's OK for minor stuff like laptops and 'phones but not for serious stuff, too much mucking about... My old Nikon P3 was wi-fi but hugely unreliable. Gave up on that after a couple of attempts. I like something tangible, like a wire! |

I think it's really why you want to do it. Transferring files from camera to computer via wifi is just a drain on camera battery. Still prefer a card reader. Remote shooting has always bothered me. I wouldn't leave my camera outdoors in public alone and retreat any distance away!! Yes there are situations when stepping away from the camera to operate it are necessary and an advantage...but not my first choice. |

I now have a similar situation, so I would like to ask what decision you made and what happened as a result? |

Having read many posts on similar issues I concluded that wi-fi with these consumer base cameras is not worth the effort. Maybe with a D5 and all the proper gear and technicians to set it up... |

There were SD cards which wi-fi, quite successfully, may still be. Edit: It seems there are, more than I expected, some of them here. https://technofizi.net/best-wifi-sd-cards/ |
